Activision announced today that the company has signed an agreement with UK-based developer Mucky Foot to begin working on a sequel to the popular vampire epic, Blade. Based on Marvel's master vampire hunter, the game is being developed for undetermined next generation console systems. This deal signifies the first time that Mucky Foot, creator of the action-adventure title Urban Chaos, has developed a game for a publisher other than Eidos Interactive.

When announcing this arrangement, Activision's Vice President, European Studios, Julian Lynn-Evans said, "Activision is committed to partnering with the very best British developers. Mucky Foot is clearly one of the most innovative talents in our business and I'm extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work with them".

"We are delighted that Activision has decided to work with Mucky Foot on this exciting new project," stated Mike Diskett. "Activision's long-standing commitment to partnership and independent development, coupled with our vision as one of the pre-eminent game developers, will make for a winning combination."

While no particular next-generation platform has been named, we believe that a PlayStation 2 version of the game is very likely.
